Yao is still using Mac Book

I've done it before, don't worry (I just changed it before Max came talking trash)

Rockets have been able to beat Spurs without T-Slack.
So I think this will be another W for the Rockets.

Any questions?

[hackle]

without double team Yao can beast the paint, though come playoffs no ego **** from nobody so every team will double team him. So let's wish there be relentless fierce double teaming.

GO ROCKETS!

Hopefully Brooks and Llowry's speed can keep Parker out the paint, and this is a good game for the Chuckster.

[jove9]

If we're going to win, we've got to hit our outside shots and our bench has to produce.

Wafer, Lowry, Landry have to come with the fire.

I think Mason is the x-factor for the spurs. We can't let him get open threes.

[Young_Star11]

We match-up fairly well with the Spurs. Both teams are defense-orientated and thus we will always have a chance. Each player on the Rockets can contribute:
- Yao to tire TD out
- AB/Lowry to stay in front of Parker and force him into a wild night offensively
- Artest/Battier to make sure Mason/Finley don't have kill us from the 3pt line
- Bench to contribute.

Don't think Bonner will play much unless he is shooting well. Spurs have gone to KT of late more than Bonner.

Winnable.

[Guy986]

We win this game against the Spurs, we are half a game behind them in the west. MUST WIN

[aznkillabeezZz]

battier our new chuck hayes. Can't make a layup. Artest with another selfish play and missing a hardshot

[YoungMoney23]

Ron's selfishness is our biggest weakness

[BaYBaller]

Lowry runs the team so much better than Brooks....

[ShaY]

We are not going to win this game , they are just so much smarter than us.

[smapor]

Artest you are an idiot.

AB you are also an idiot, what the hell was that pass to Yao with no spacing. Than you throw up the a 3 point shot, when Yao was fking wide open underneath the basket.

Rockets continue to throw up 3 pointers. This was not the team that I loved when we came out of All Star Break.

There is no inside out game anymore or even a trace of it. Its strictly AB + Artest 3 point shooting contest and who can make the dumbest TO possible.

[YoungMoney23]

Lowry runs the team so much better than Brooks....

Brooks is a scorer, not a play maker

[YoungMoney23]

What I hate the most about this team is their failure to recognize Yao has the hot hand, He scores well yet we continually fail to give him the ball
